What Şiteks Şişmanlar Tekstil San. ve Tic. A.Ş. does

Şiteks Şişmanlar Tekstil San. ve Tic. A.Ş. is a privately held Turkish nonwoven felt manufacturer, founded in 1939 as part of the Hassan Group (Hassan Şirketler Grubu) by Hasan Şişman. The company produces industrial felt products across five primary verticals — automotive, white goods, mattress and furniture, construction, and carpet underlay — with manufacturing operations consolidated at a 50,000 m² enclosed / 220,000 m² open facility in Tekirdağ Saray, roughly 120 km from Istanbul, and a corporate headquarters in the Şişli/Levent district of Istanbul.

The company's product portfolio spans thermoset felts (phenolic and epoxy variants for white goods and automotive applications) and thermoplastic felts reinforced with cotton, glass, natural, and synthetic fibres, plus dual-layer Duo felts for furniture applications. Production range covers 300–3500 grams per square metre and 3–100 mm thickness, with finishing options including plate cutting, roll form, 2D die-cut, adhesive coating, and lamination. Şiteks differentiates through recycled textile-fibre processing capability, custom-specification manufacturing, and a long-established industrial heritage predating 1939. The firm holds IATF 16949, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001:2022, and TÜRKAK accreditations.

The revenue model is B2B industrial direct sales to OEM and tier-supply buyers in automotive, white goods, mattress/furniture, and construction, with a parallel related-party channel supplying semi-finished felt inputs to sister companies within the Hassan Group (Hassan, Telasis, Catsis, Pelsan, Merkas). Operating geography is Turkey-only, with a wholly-owned foreign-trade subsidiary (Şiteks Dış Ticaret) in place but no disclosed international revenue. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is custom-specification based on weight, thickness, fibre composition, and finishing.
